If you want the little one to practice their reading skills while also seeing photos of the places Smashum and Breaka visit in Egypt look up Goop Tales on Youtube. Rest assured we’ve taken every necessary precaution for the little one to watch safely, this fun video story is 100% made for children and is marked as such by Youtube!
One cold December day, Smashum and Breaka meet up with their friend Jealousina to enjoy some holiday cheer. While walking around, the twins spot some lights strewn above and decide to swing from them. When they let go, they fall into a deep manhole, which drops them all the way to Giza in Egypt! They soon come face to face with the ghost mummy of Cleopatra and only escape with the help of a sweet cobra named Scales.
Cleopatra is very angry because the twins broke her sphinx, and she won’t stop until the twins are locked up beneath the pyramid. Unfortunately, the tunnels are very old and keep collapsing. Maybe Smashum and Breaka’s skills in destroying things will finally come in handy.
Smashum and Breaka’s adventure in Giza will help kids learn when it’s appropriate to break things and when they should respect the objects around them. The twins will have to learn the difference if they want to make it back home. Come on over to Egypt to see how they handle this challenge!
As youngsters wander through the mysterious tunnels in Giza, they will develop independent play routines, learn to respect everything around them, and expand their vocabulary. Little ones will want to come back to Goop World again and again after spending time with Smashum and Breaka!
